Emanating from the steeply terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley (home to the great Port houses) Vega is a full bodied table wine blended from three of the region`s best varieties; Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. It is big and rich but very smooth in the mouth with plum, cherry and mineral elements and complex with a firm grip of tannins, typical of the region. A great table wine alternative to port and perfect with strong hard cheese.
